Q

Wolff’s Law

A
  1. Natural healthy bones will adapt and change to adapt to the stress that it subjected to
  2. “Bone will be laid down where needed
    and resorbed where not needed.”

Q

Phases of Piezoelectric facilitated bone remodeling

A
  1. Mechanical load causes slippage of collagen fibers
  2. Fiber slippage results in a movement of ions across the bone surface
  3. Ion movement produces an electrical potential across the bone
  4. Shift in electrical potential attracts osteoblasts
  5. Osteoblasts begin to deposit minerals (primarily calcium)
  6. Formation of new bone tissue

Q

What is the primary takeaway of the Piezoelectric effect in terms of bone remodeling?

Q

How is bone stress influenced by muscle activity?

A

Muscles create movement by exerting their forces on bone, this can create tensile and compressive forces in the bones with which they interact.

Q

Example of bone compressive forces

A

Ski boot
- Tricep surae (gastroc and soleus) exert compressive forces on the posterior aspect of the shank, neutralizing the high tensile forces applied to it.

Q

ligament

A

bone to bone connections
extension of joint capsule
Nearly parallel fibers, some creases
Contain neural receptors

20
Q

Tendon

A

Muscle to bone connection
(wide version =aponeuroses)
Parallel fibers
Contains neural receptors

21
Q

Types of mechanoreceptors found in tendon and ligament

A
  1. Ruffini Corpuscles
  2. Pacinian Corpuscles
  3. Golgi tendon organs
  4. Free nerve endings
22
Q

Ruffini Corpuscles

A

(endings)
Found mostly in dermis
detect low frequency vibration and pressure

23
Q

Pacinian Corpuscles

A

Subcutaneous tissue and mesenteries
detect Vibration and Deep Pressure
Proprioception

24
Q

Golgi tendon organs

A

Located in tendon adjacent to myotendinous junction
sense changes muscle tension

25
Q

Free nerve endings

A

Dermis and all connective tissue
Pain signals
Sends signal to sensory neurons

26
Q

Muscle Spindles

A

Found in skeletal muscle
Changes in muscle length and rate of lengthening

27
Q

Stress

A

The force applied per unit area of tissue, where area is measured in the plane that is perpendicular to the force.

Normalized load, force/area

28
Q

Strain

A

Indicates the change in length of the tissue from its relative initial length

Normalized deformation

29
Q

Tendon and ligament key differences

A

Tendon fibers are parallel
Ligament fibers are nearly parallel but contain some creases, this accounts for toe region

30
Q

Creep Response

A

Change in the restling length of a tissue due to stress maintained over a period of time

When stress is maintained, deformation gradually increases

31
Q

Why does creep occur?

A

New equilibrium state,
fluid redistribution through tissue
Protein redistribution through tissue
Fluid exudation

32
Q

Stress Relaxation Response

A

decrease in tensile stress over tiem that occurs whena body under tensile stress is held at a fixed length.

33
Q

Why does stress relaxation response occur?

A

Constant load applied
Fluid exudation,
relaxation because of redistribution of fluids

34
Q

Describe how the cross sectional area of muscle influences force production

A
35
Q

Properties of muscle

A
  1. irritability
  2. Conductivity
  3. Contractility
  4. Adaptability
  5. Extensability
  6. Elasticity
36
Q

Components of Hill Model of Muscle

A
  1. CE - Contractile Element
  2. PEE - Parallel Element
  3. SEE - Series Elastic Element
37
Q

CE (Hill Model)

A

Contractile Element: Force Generating Component,
Actin
Myosin

38
Q

SEE (Hill Model)

A

Series Elastic Component: Passive and Active elastic elements
Tendons, aponeuroses and other connective tissue - cross bridges may also contribute
Spring that stores and releases energy

39
Q

PE (Hill Model)

A

Parallel Elastic Component: Elastic properties of the connective tissues and membranes
Sarcolemma, Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Epi. Peri. and Endomysium

40
Q

Considering the force length relationship for skeletal muscle , describe the active curve peak.

A

The peak of the curve is where the most binding sights are available
The optimal region of overlap where there is enough space to shorten and ample cross bridging opportunities

To the left of the peak there is no room to shorten, to the right of the peak there is no overlap and therefore no available binding sites

41
Q

Considering the force-length relationship for skeletal muscle, describe the passive curve peak

A

The passive component of the force length relationship represents the force generated by the muscle when it is stretched or shorted without any active muscle contraction.

Slope represents stiffness
Force increases as muscle is stretched
Decreases as muscle is shortened
Determined by the passive elastic components of muscle

42
Q

Force- Length Relationship of muscle

A

describes the amount of force that a muscle can produce is affected by its length

43
Q

Force- Velocity relationship of muscle

A

Describes how the amount of force that a muscle can produce is affected by the velocity of muscle shortening or lengthening.

Typically a hyperbolic curve

Inverse in contraction
Explained by sliding filament theory - at low velocities many cross bridges, at high velocities cross bridging opportunity is reduced

44
Q

Lombard’s Paradox

A

paradoxical co contraction of muscle antagonist contraction despite inhibition of primary mover. E.G. quadriceps and hamstrings simultaneously contracting when rising from a seated position.

45
Q

Short range muscle stiffness

A

Resistance to lengthening is greatest in the first few miliseconds of lengthening, this effect tapers as continual force is applied

Function: stabilizes joint in movements that require a fast change of direction.

46
Q

Four primary mechanisms of the stretch-shortening cycle

A
  1. Time to develop force
  2. Stored elastic energy
  3. Force potentiation (boosting of cross bridge opportunities)
  4. Stretch Reflex
